Chapter 799: Chapter 804: The Hijacking Operation (3)
As soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind suddenly brushed past Liu Dongsheng. By the time Liu Dongsheng reacted, there was a loud ’bang’, as if something heavy had viciously struck the row of riot shields, causing several shields to shatter.
With the impact of that force, several fully armed police officers were knocked to the ground.
"Run!" Ling Chen shouted lightly.
Hearing Ling Chen’s voice, Liu Dongsheng no longer hesitated, immediately lifting Yang He and rushing outside. With Ling Chen holding back the police, they had no time to care about Liu Dongsheng. Moreover, since Liu Dongsheng was fast, these police officers couldn’t catch up with him just by running.
Watching Liu Dongsheng disappear from sight, Ling Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Dongsheng had run away, he could calmly retreat.
"Catch him! Do not let him escape," commanded the senior officer in charge, his face turning livid. With a wave of his hand, the police waiting behind all charged forward, surrounding Ling Chen in multiple layers.
"Don’t move! Move again and I will shoot."
Several police officers, holding pistols, shouted loudly.
Ling Chen was slightly startled, his toes lightly tapping a riot shield, borrowing force to jump up, intending to leap over the heads of the police officers.
However, just then, a large net suddenly flew from the front, rapidly closing in on his body.
Damn!
Ling Chen cursed softly to himself, his hand holding the Tianling Blade sliced repeatedly, cutting the net in half. However, despite breaking the net, Ling Chen had exhausted his momentum and had to fall from mid-air. Unfortunately, his landing spot was right in the middle of the group of police.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, several thick riot shields immediately pressed in from all directions, tightly pinning Ling Chen’s body.
Seeing this situation, Ling Chen’s expression involuntarily changed. His body suddenly shook, his Hua Realm power burst forth, instantly pushing the shields apart. However, the shields were only pushed open by a dozen centimeters and quickly pressed back again, restraining Ling Chen’s body.
This is bad!
Ling Chen let out a worried thought. As the police were numerous and densely packed, even if he was strong, he couldn’t possibly fight against dozens of them alone.
"Don’t move!"
At this time, several pistols were extended from the crowd, their dark muzzles all pointed at Ling Chen’s forehead.
"Humph! Now let’s see where you can escape to," the officer in command sneered with satisfaction. "Take off his mask for me; I want to see his true face."
Hearing that command, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed. Once his identity is exposed, things would get tricky.
Just as Ling Chen had no plan, something suddenly flew into the crowd from mid-air. In an instant, smoke erupted, carrying a pungent odor.
In a short while, the surrounding area of more than twenty meters was enveloped in thick smoke, obscuring even the outlines of people.
Seeing this sudden change, Ling Chen immediately laughed. Without thinking, he knew who arrived—it must have been Kaelina who reached the scene.
Taking advantage of the smokescreen, Ling Chen took a deep breath, then held his breath, his Hua Realm power bursting forth once more, pushing the surrounding riot shields away again. Following that, Ling Chen tapped his toes on a riot shield, using it to spring up.
Having evaded the police cordon, Ling Chen looked around, unsure of which direction to go. The smoke was too thick around him, making it impossible to distinguish any directions.
Forget it!
Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered to distinguish the direction, so he randomly picked one and quickly ran towards it. After moving forward for more than ten meters, the smoke ahead began to thin. Ling Chen glanced around and saw the intersection was not far away. Fortunately, he hadn’t taken the wrong direction.
After running all the way, once he left the area where the police were located, Ling Chen darted into a small alley and immediately vanished.
...
Half an hour later.
Research Base.
As soon as Ling Chen came back, he rushed straight to the interrogation room. Outside the interrogation room, he saw Liu Dongsheng sitting on a bench in the corridor, his dark face showing signs of fatigue.
"Mr. Liu, are you alright?"
"It’s nothing." Liu Dongsheng stood up and said, "Mr. Ling, thank you for lending a hand."
Ling Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Don’t mention it. You’re tired, go rest now."
Liu Dongsheng could return safely, largely thanks to Ling Chen’s assistance. Otherwise, the woman by Yang He’s side alone would have been a handful for Liu Dongsheng. Although Ling Chen had not fought with that woman, he could tell that her skills were no less than those ranked on the Dragon List. Unfortunately, with Ling Chen, an Earthly List expert present, she couldn’t fully demonstrate her abilities.
Having such a master by Yang He’s side must have been arranged by the God Organization.
After Liu Dongsheng left, Ling Chen walked to the front of the interrogation room, ready to push the door and enter. But at that moment, the ringtone of a cell phone emanated from his pocket.
Taking out his phone, Ling Chen looked at the incoming call number, saw it was Nanrong Wanqing calling, and immediately answered the phone.
"Hello! Wanqing, is there something you need?"
"Was that person you just now?"
Ling Chen chuckled and feigned ignorance, "What you mean by it was me, I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"Humph! Don’t try to fool me, I’m not unaware. Why did you capture Yang He? Do you know who he is? This will bring you a lot of trouble."
In her tone over the phone, Nanrong Wanqing sounded a bit agitated, but Ling Chen knew she was concerned about him, worried that he might be in trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Chen sobered, "Wanqing, I know what I’m doing. You might not understand now, but you will in the future. I have more things to take care of right now, can’t talk more."
With that said, without waiting for Nanrong Wanqing to say anything more, Ling Chen hung up the phone.
Walking into the interrogation room, Ling Chen saw at a glance that Yang He was sitting on a chair, his face showing anger and occasionally cursing. Beside him, Hu Fei was standing with his arms crossed, looking impatiently at Yang He.
"Fatty, did you get anything out of him?"
"Forget it, this old guy is quite stubborn, he won’t confess a word. Hmph, if it weren’t for his age, I would have hit him already," said Hu Fei resentfully.
Yang He looked at Ling Chen and said coldly, "Do you know who I am? I’m telling you, it’s better to release me now, otherwise, you won’t end well."
"Elder Yang, please calm down," Ling Chen moved a chair in front of Yang He and sat down, "We mean no harm, we just want to ask you some questions. As long as you tell the truth, I can assure you, we won’t hurt you at all." He paused, then continued, "However, if you refuse to cooperate with us, don’t blame me for being rude. Although I am a civilized person who respects elders and loves youngers, I always adopt uncivilized methods for those who are uncooperative, so think it over carefully."
